Breath analysis as a diagnostic tool for lung cancer
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biological Science Archive - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
review we consider whether non-invasive breath-based detection of volatile biomarkers offers a means to screen populations for the presence of the disease. We find that many potential volatile cancer biomarkers have been reported, including some in multiple studies, and that many are biologically plausible. The field lacks prospective studies, however, which are needed to determine whether such markers are of use for the detection of lung cancer in its pre-symptomatic stages. This,and a lack of knowledge about the various endogenous and exogenous sources of such potential cancer markers, hampers the clinical development of this testing paradigm despite its undeniable appeal. Further work is therefore required before any firm conclusions can be drawn regarding the utility of breath analysis for the diagnosis of lung cancer. Keywords:breath, cancer, volatile chemical
